Aaron Rodgers vented some of his frustrations with the replacement referees and with the NFL's statement during his show on 540 ESPN Radio on Tuesday.

"I gotta do something that the NFL is not gonna do. I have to apologize to the fans because the multimillion dollar machine is generated by people who pay good money to come watch us play, and the product that's on the field is not being complimented by an appropriate set of officials," Rodgers said.

Packers wide receiver James Jones spoke exclusively to WISN 12 News on Tuesday morning about his message for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and for Packer fans.

"We can't keep letting this go on. A lot of people want to blame the refs, but it's really not the refs' fault. They've been thrown into the fire and not really knowing what's going on. Some of them are from junior colleges. It's just getting crazy. My message to him (Goodell) is, 'Just do something fast,'" Jones said.

"We had a couple of jokes on the plane on the way home last night. We were saying we were just gonna go out there when we play the Saints and just take a knee for three hours. A lot of the players are frustrated, so I know the fans are frustrated, especially if it's your team that's getting robbed, so I mean, we gotta do something because every game, every week it's something different," he said.

The White House said President Barack Obama believes that a disputed end to the Green Bay Packers-Seattle Seahawks football game means it is time to resolve a labor dispute and get regular referees back to officiating NFL games.

Obama spokesman Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One that the president, an avid sports fan, watched the game and "thinks there was a real problem with that call." Green Bay is in politically important Wisconsin, adding significance to Obama's stance.

Carney called the play "very distressing for every American football fan."

Republican vice presidential candidate and Wisconsin U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan called for an end to the referee lockout during a stop in Ohio on Tuesday.

"It is time to get the real refs. And you know what? It reminds me of President Obama and the economy. If you can't get it right, it's time to get out. I half think that these refs work part-time for the Obama administration in the budget office. They see the national debt clock staring them in the face. They see a debt crisis, and they just ignore and pretend it didn't even happen. They're trying to pick the winners and losers, and they don't even do that very well," Ryan said.
